My husband and I are buying a newbuild flat in Templecombe with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We like our Templecombe conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
